About Wild Curry (Eremophila)
Wild Curry (Eremophila) (Eremophila glabra) is a herb used in the Aboriginal Australian Medicine tradition to help with Fever, Wound Healing, Cold, and Skin Health. The aerial parts and leaves are the parts traditionally used, used both internally and topically.
Botanical background
Eremophila glabra, commonly known as tar bush, is a plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Australia. It is sometimes a low, ground-hugging and sometimes an erect shrub. The leaves are variable in size and shape and there is a range of flower colours. In spite of its scientific name, not all forms of the plant are glabrous but most have many small, raised glands on the stems, flowers and leaves.
